BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Almost all of the above.

You Go, Brad Wall!!

SASKATCHEWAN EXPORTS TO ASIA SOAR

"Business for Saskatchewan exporters rose 4.3 per cent in the first six months of 2013, generating more than $17.5 billion in sales and putting the province on pace to surpass its annual export record, set in 2012."

Picking up where we left off....a century ago.

"Oil and gas continued to be the biggest export for Saskatchewan, producing $6.3 billion in sales during the first six months of the year. Potash exports came in second at $3.4 billion, while wheat exports were third at $1.7 billion."

"Total exports from Saskatchewan account for around 70 per cent of the province’s gross domestic product (GDP). Saskatchewan is the fourth largest exporter among the provinces."

Well That's Interesting

Some whiny supposedly secular Muslim just posted a whiny comment on an old post of mine Europa Kicks Butt. I gave him/her a piece of my mind.

Ah Yes!

Big Green helps Big Wind hide bird and bat butchery

"It uses tons of fossil fuels every day, emits a greenhouse gas that's like CO2 on steroids, can’t do the job it’s made for, costs taxpayers exorbitant fees, and makes the federal government look mentally ill for giving it outrageous subsidies. It also chops up birds, bats and scenery with roads and monstrous 400-foot-tall machines. “It” is wind power, of course.

These harsh facts were condensed into a preliminary draft study of wind subsidies by researcher Teresa Platt, who circulated it to specialists for vetting. I obtained a copy of the extensively footnoted working draft, which gave chilling reality to the truth behind wind industry claims.

“Every year since the 1980s,” Platt’s study said, “the 5,000 turbines at NextEra’s Altamont Pass in California kill thousands of slow-reproducing red-tailed hawks, burrowing owls, kestrels, as well as iconic golden eagles, and bats.” The birds Platt mentions are raptors – birds of prey – particularly valued for their agricultural role in killing mice and other crop-damaging rodents. Eagles, both golden eagles and bald eagles, have long impressed Americans for their majesty, and the bald eagle was selected by our Founding Fathers as our national emblem.

I asked Bob Johns, spokesman for the American Bird Conservancy, about wind farm eagle mortality. He confirmed Platt’s study and told me the Altamont operation alone has killed more than 2,000 golden eagles. But that’s not all. “Nationwide, the wind industry kills thousands of golden eagles without prosecution,” Johns said, “while any other American citizen even possessing eagle parts such as feathers would face huge fines and prison time.”"

But don't let that stop you. You could always declare it a "no fly zone".

Well, I'm A Redneck...

...but you wouldn't catch me doing this:

Oh, Man...

...How could you not "just want to hug him". His story, if you believe it, which I do, is so inspiring, just like his voice:

Living in the Back Woods, Hinterlands...

...one tends to miss a lot of the good stuff: Commodore fired for partying, nudity in Bahrain Sounds like it might have been one helluva party:

"The party — while not an official command function — included enlisted, junior officers, and even the commanding officer of her 100-member logistics task force based in Bahrain. The sight of her topless changed the party’s dynamic. Men drew closer to leer. Another woman removed her top. And a man took off his pants, exposing himself. While guests stared, all three went skinny-dipping. That’s when the commodore jumped in."

Study Debunks Common Myth That Urine Is Sterile I've heard of men standing around putting out camp fires, but washing the dishes?? Oh well. Too late now.

More Good News

"Conservative premiers across Canada are faring markedly better than their more left-leaning counterparts, as a new survey shows that Saskatchewan's Brad Wall, Newfoundland's Kathy Dunderdale, and Alberta's Alison Redford are the most liked premiers in the country. The Angus Reid poll found that 71 per cent of Saskatchewan residents approve of Wall's premiership, while 60 per cent of Newfoundlanders approve of Dunderdale and 53 per cent of Albertans approve of Redford. On the other side of the spectrum, Quebec and Ontario's Liberal premiers, Jean Charest and Dalton McGuinty, fared the worst, with Charest landing just 26 per cent of support and McGuinty nabbing 38 per cent after winning a third term in October."

Expect more whining from the usual suspects.

Getting To The Promised Land

This is how it's done:

GO TORONTO!!!!!

Welcome back!!!!

"The day I knew for sure there must be something good about Mr. Ford was the day Justin Trudeau, the son of the late prime minister and the MP for Papineau riding in Montreal, came flying in to give George Smitherman his stamp of approval and save Toronto “from the politics of fear and division,” as he put it.

Thank you for that, Mr. Trudeau. You may resume tossing your locks."

Best ass kicking I've seen in a long time.

The mainstream media is positively apoplectic. CBC fans, especially.

And how 'bout that feisty ole Hazel McCallion!!

Outside of Mississauga, the GTA doesn't know what hit it.
